Fragility

Emotions smolder
Fires burn down to cold coals
Silver shiny glass
Makes for hard brittle mirrors
Fragility breaks elbows

Premium Member Cross Chewer

3 black churches 
turned into smolder
a flint-toothed ogre 
munches a wooden cross
in the shadows
of his black soot mind

Birthday Wishes

Smile at a scolder, pat a heart on the shoulder, another day's boulder to molder, set it to smolder, Here we are, just another day older.

first love never dies

first love never dies
its flames rage loose in the wind
ashes smolder still
as fire rampages untamed
scorching fragile hearts blue-black

Wake Up My Heart

Wake the embers that smolder inside
Up above the coldness of my doubt
My burning desire will serve as guide 
Heart aflame with passion ends loves drought

Premium Member Her Skin On Fire

her skin on fire
    cold to the touch
  golden locks of hair
    tumble everywhere

  smooth as silk
    her alabaster shoulders
  men's hearts leap ~

Hard Head Like Big Boulder

Hard Head Like Big Boulder

Trump had hard head like big boulder;
Was ostentatious as he became older;
We could not resist;
Scratched from list;
He set fires that soon would smolder.

Premium Member To Smoke and To Smolder

I love when it’s colder; put on two pork shoulders, the size of small boulders, to smoke and to smolder. (three if I’d been bolder) It is a true soldier, but likely won’t hold her.

Premium Member Less Said

The whimpering wind outlasts the storm.
Embers smolder beyond the flame.
What's withheld, unsaid, hones the ear,
Patience in pondering deepens meaning.
Until the tongue-tied uncoils its pearls.
Silence is the elephant in the room.

Premium Member Pink Lace and Satin

Pink lace and satin
 cool sheets merge
  with perfumed breeze

A tigress writhes on them
  restless, eager to please

Ruby lips fairly smolder
  her curves all aligned
Undo the strap from her shoulder
  Tell her, 'You're mine'

Love Without Hope

Love without hope

Identifying true hopeless love in the eyes of the beholder
as she winks in return my heart melts in smolder
Hope instilled once again in my hopeless soul
Vanishing as she drifts away another lonely dark hole

Premium Member Olden Knowledge Should Smolder

Olden knowledge should smolder
As smoke rising from an ember -
Universal but not common -
Peculiar but not forgotten.
Tell me of those days of yore -
Of circumstances transpired -
So I can repeat on my lips
That which slumbers in silence.

What

What is given?
What is taken away?

What is filled?
What is empty?

What is alive?
What is dead?

What is spoken?
What is said?

What is out there?
What it is in my head?

What I know
What I can learn

What will smolder
What will burn

Premium Member Shakespeare and Me

Shakespeare and me
   just didn't agree
Neither did reading
   'great poetry'

The classics I spurned
   and when they were finished
     did happily burn

Now that I'm older
   their words still smolder
They've lit quite a fire
   deep inside me

Life Boulders

Stuck between a rock 
And a few boulders 
Who say’s life gets better
Or easier as we get older?
Life can be great
But it can also smolder.
You Can do it alone
Although it’s better with a shoulder.
Life can be good and rough.
That’s up to the beholder

Premium Member Brave Is Bold

Brave’s just a little bit bolder,
I am willing to take that risk.
It gets old and I get older,
brave’s just a little bit bolder.
Pep in that step set to smolder, 
I’m polished as an odalisque.
Brave’s just a little bit bolder,
I am willing to take that risk.

Premium Member A Cool Conversation

"A burst of ice."
whispers Winter 

"Your not being nice!"
answers Spring 

"Your frozen outburst;
Your chill, will not change a thing."

"I will dance. I will sing.
It is inevitable.
A symphony of color I will bring."

"So walk away. 
Do not smolder.
Soon your reign will be over."

Making Love

Let me know your smells
taste of them well,
hold your sweat
filling 
mind.

Limbs growing heavy
as hot flames flick
flesh ready
to meet
flesh.

And then, to smolder
resting in awe
in the sweat
of weight
heavy.

Intoxicating
eclipse of joy
blends fire
melting
ice.

Pain

I've felt the pain of an orphaned child,
The wounds of a fallen soldier.
Although on my skin you'll see no marks,
Underneath, I still smolder.

For pain is not a scratch;
Not a bruise, or a scrape, or a bump.
Pain is the fire that burns inside
When you try but just can't give up.

We Write Fairy Tales

I am not a prince
And princess you don’t have to be.
We need not to live happily ever after.
A touch of anger is allowed to smolder,
Sorts of quarrel will do.

At the end sure come to me,
Take me away
Leave only to love me again,
To fill the pages of our own fairytale.
A new beginning in our own way.

Rekindled Passion

reduced to glowing coals, embers smolder waiting for some bright spark to rekindle an old flame's liveliness brilliant fervid blazes emanate with radiant waves of warmth, only the sun could compare to such zest Tanya Harringotn © 11-05-2012 Views From A Vignette Contest
